Antarctica

The phenomenon you describe is only true at the South Pole. The sun sets on about March 21 and rises again about September 21.

There is plenty of light from stars and from the moon, but there is no sunlight for those six months.

Parts of the Antarctic Peninsula only experience a few days or weeks of no sunrise/ sunset. Again, there is plenty of light otherwise.

The greatest danger to all animals there, including humans, is death by freezing. Frostbite is also a danger, but one can recover from frostbite.

Because it is an extreme geography, much like wilderness anywhere, becoming lost and disoriented is possible. Once separated from any survival resources, death by freezing is certain.

Antarctica is the name of a continent. Antarctic is the name used to describe something indigenous to the area, for example, the region around Antarctica, the Antarctic region. Antarctic is an adjective; Antarctica is a noun.

People who work and live there temporarily listen to whatever music they've brought with them, or to whatever music the station-specific radio stations play for their listeners.

Summer in Antarctica is considered high season, given that there is access to and from the continent. This means that the scientists and people who work in support of science can access study areas, establish field camps and pursue collecting data to answer their questions about the health of planet Earth.

Answer 1:

Not many people go to Antarctica. Mostly only scientists go to Antarctica - and for only one reason - to study.

Answer 2:

Tourism to Antarctica is a surprisingly lucrative industry. There are many people who pay to fly over or cruise to Antarctica. There is no accommodation for them, but they simply want to glimpse the pure, majestic beauty of the region.

Ice freezes material within itself when it freezes, that includes gases and trace elements. Scientists can slice ice cores into extremely thin slices and then determine the composition of the atmosphere at the time the ice layer froze.

People who live and work in Antarctica -- thanks to their government that signed the Antarctic Treaty -- work in science or support of science. For every grantee -- the scientist with a research question -- there are about seven other people who work to support the research.

Jobs include mechanics, carpenters, lab techs, information systems support, drivers, cooks, cleaners and so forth: all the jobs required to support people who work.

No, they are on opposite sides of the world.

antartica is a Icy wasteland that has only (reletivley) recently been discovered. besides that, It is an Icy Barren wasteland that is impossible to grow food on. anyway, it's cold. nobody even wants to live there.
Because it's covered in ice, has virtually no life and cannot support humans.

Humans who live and work on Antarctica only do so temporarily, and are in service of their country and its scientists answering questions about the health of planet earth.

There are no native peoples or permanent human occupants of the continent.

Yes.

Argentine Antarctica, called the Department of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica, and South Atlantic Islands Province has been claimed by Argentina since 1942. The breadth of their claim is 25°W to 74°W latitude which, like all territorial claims, terminates at 90°S.

Their claim overlaps existing claims of Chile and the United Kingdom.

Argentina's claim is registered as part of the Antarctic Treaty as an existing claim, as are the overlapping claims. The treaty also prohibits any commercial activity on land south of 60° S, and dedicates this land to the scientific study of planet Earth.

Your elevation above sea level would be more than 11,000 feet, so the air would be thinner, and you could be in the most extreme cold part of planet Earth with temperatures in the minus 80s or 90s F. Your body would work hard to keep your organs warm and operable.

Antarctica is a continent, and continents are hard to 'destroy'.

Ice shelves attached to the continent, however, are being melted underneath by warming ocean waters. This causes the ice shelf to disintegrate eventually.

Vinson Massif is 4,892m or 16,050ft high

All of the earth south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise each year. The periods begin in the austral fall season.

The continent of Antarctica covers 10% of the earth's surface, and the number of 24-hour periods with no sunrise depends on how far south you are located.

At the South Pole, this period is about six months.

Well you've heard of the north and south pole right? well, Antarctica (south pole) is at the bottom of the earth- there, there is hardly any sun causing it to be a cold place. Ice forms because of the cold. The same happens with the north pole. The way the earth faces when it orbits the sun means that those two poles don't get much sun- but global warming is melting these poles, if the ice caps melt then the whole world could be flooded. Global warming is when our atmosphere is being ruined by pollution,cow flatulence etc.

It would be a good idea to research global warming in depth because it is a very large, opinionated subject.

The Antarctic ice sheet covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and at 27 million cubic km is the largest single mass of ice on Earth (90% of all the ice on Earth). This ice represents approximately 61% of all the fresh water on the Earth.

There are no animals that 'live' in Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Several types of sea mammals and sea birds do come to Antarctica's beaches, to breed. No seals or penguins are listed on the World Wildlife Endangered list.

A biologist with a government grant would be working on a research question of his or her choosing. The life and living organisms under study could be sea animals or sea birds available around the beaches during breeding season.

Not all of the Antarctic ice sheet has been measured for depth. At the South Pole, the depth of the ice is 2,700 meters or 9,000 feet; at Vostok, the depth of the ice is 3,488 meters or 11,444 feet.

The thickness of the continent varies, depending on the location.

Nation states make territorial claims in order to expand their sphere of influence, provide for access to natural resources, potentially designate homesteading options for citizens, increase tax opportunities and generally grow themselves.

Answer

Hi Wildlife in Antarctica will eventually become extinct if all the ice melts from global warming, as the temperatures would be too high for them to handle and there would be no land mass cold enough for them to exist on. Unless they manage to evolve in time (which is not likely), this would be the result. bye
